"Donald Trump never actually wanted to be president of the United
States," Moore wrote. "I know this for a fact."

He believes that, because Trump wasn't happy with his deal on his
NBC show "The Celebrity Apprentice," he floated the idea that
he'd run for president in the hopes of strengthening his hand in
the negotiations.

"Of course he wouldn't really have to RUN for president
— just make the announcement, hold a few mega-rallies that would
be packed with tens of thousands of fans, and wait for the first
opinion polls to come in showing him — what else! — in first
place! And then he would get whatever deal he wanted, worth
millions more than what he was currently being paid," wrote
Moore.

But, according to Moore, Trump's plan turned out to be a real
campaign, as he galvanized those in the Republican Party who were
disenfranchised and ended up winning the party's nomination.
Moore believes that the latest downfall in the polls by Trump is
the businessman's plan to get out of the race.

"Maybe the meltdown of the past three weeks was no accident,"
wrote Moore. "Maybe it's all part of his new strategy to get the
hell out of a race he never intended to see through to its end
anyway. Because, unless he is just 'crazy,' the only explanation
for the unusual ramping up, day after day, of one disgustingly
reckless statement after another is that he's doing it
consciously (or subconsciously) so that he'll have to bow out or
blame 'others' for forcing him out."

recent polls in important swing states.
